Tuesday, January 10th 2012 - The entire Oregon delegation in Washington, D.C. is asking the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to drop the request for funding reimbursement from Deschutes County. FEMA wants the money reimbursed because the County allowed private landowners to clear fire-prone materials from their property.
Members of the Deschutes Collaborative Forest project met to discuss the future of the decade long project to manage 145,000 acres of public and private land.
